Another this is such a shame crime. Two policemen were shot while eating lunch and a woman in a Walmart across the street was killed before one of the shooters killed the man with her and then herself in the back of the store. They were yelling that this was a revolution. What possesses people? Shortest revolution I've ever heard of. Wonder what kind of story is going to come out of that.
My sympathies are with the families these three victims left behind. http://www.cnn.com/2....html?hpt=hp_t2

As police converged on Walmart, Gillespie says the female suspect shot the male suspect before turning the gun on herself.

Will have to wait and find out who they were and what they were into, apart from a very flawed ideology coupled with being utter cowards hiding behind their guns.

In an ideal World a law would be passed were NO guns were allowed and all those out there destroyed, trouble is the law makers are not going to take a risk of trying to pass that without making sure they are armed first.

I did a google and found the following webpage that lists this years Walmart related shootings:

Below is a list, updated regularly, with all of the incidents in 2014 that involved shots fired on Walmart properties. This list does not include all the non-shots fired incidents, like most armed robberies, gun thefts, or threats with guns.

"From time to time there appear on the face of the earth men of rare and consummate excellence, who dazzle us by their virtue, and whose outstanding qualities shed a stupendous light. Like those extraordinary stars of whose origins we are ignorant, and of whose fate, once they have vanished, we know even less, such men have neither forebears nor descendants: they are the whole of their race." -- Jean de la Bruyere 1645-1696.

In my hometown, my mother lives in an area where there are three Wal-marts within a 10 mile radius. You got the Wal-mart on the not so great side of town. You got another Wal-mart on the country side of town. Then you have another Wal-mart that is off a major interstate.

After seeing your link, I can explain, as to why I think those people showing in that link were half naked.
After a certain time of the day, usually after 9pm, Wal-mart seems to turn off the air-conditioner, (okay at least -every time I have been in one of the wal-marts in my hometown after 9pm) and it gets really stuffy and hot in there. I've always thought that Wal-mart does this because they want to hurry people up out of the store so they can stock the shelves at night without people being in the way.
I will admit that one night, about 1:30am, I took off a layer of clothing whilst I was in the store cause I was burning up. But I can assure you that I never showed any butt-crack;)

Edited to add: Free, I just watched the viral video of the Tribute to the People that goes to Wal-Mart. I am now sitting here hoping with all hope that the aliens never go to a Wal-mart. It might cause them to see with their own eyes, that there is a high chance that we are not intelligent. I'm a chunky girl and I do know better not to wear spandex, anything strapless or tank tops. Yes, I'm overweight, but I have the decency to keep my flesh well covered! People and their people parts literally hanging out at the Wal-mart... oi vey.

Lol, sorry but that made me laugh. Air conditioning gets turned off and the people turn into this:

What other possible explanation could there be? haha. It makes sense to me. And have you ever seen these types of fashion atrocities happen at ASDA? But then again, air-conditioning isn't common in this country, because there isn't a real need for it. But can you imagine?!

Ah but with Asda`s there is a difference, the crazies work there.

And they all wear the same uniform.... so it's harder to tell who is the crazy!

The news today said this was a married couple who talked to their neighbors about conspiracy theories regarding the government. They were anti-government and anti-law enforcement. They found a manifesto at the scene of one of the shootings in a backpack. No time to look now because I have to leave for work but it will be interesting to see what's written in it.
